Singapore - Computers Needed?

[tauzin23]

Hi guys,

I have recently received emails from different people in Singapore wanting to buy computers from me. They are contacting me through my website. I've always deleted them thinking they were bogus... just wanted to know if any of you have got these emails before.

This is one of the emails I received just this morning:

Dear Sirs,

My name is Vanessa Whalberg.I need several units of computers system and related products to support my work in Singapore.
And whether you accept directly a credit card as payment and can you ship international order?

I'm looking forward for your respond.

Regards,
Vanessa

Just my two cents.. Firstly, Singapore is a very technologically advanced country. I am sure there are tons of places locally someone could find these products. Also, whenever someone is offering to pay before they know what they it will cost them worries me. HOWEVER, the dollar is very weak right now (assuming your are in the US) and maybe it would be cheaper to have it built in the US and shipped. Customs is too much of a hassle and i would ignore it. Its probably safer as well.

This is an age old scam. Delete it.
